RAILROAD INTELLIGENCE.

The verdict of the Coroner's jury
that has been investigating the recent railroad
horror at Republic, Ohio, is a startling docu-
ment The jury attributes the accident to
culpable negligence on the part of both the
railway officials and the trainmen. According
to It's report the locomotive of the freight
train was in an unsafe and unservice-
able condition; the engineer was ex-
hsusted by nearly seventeen hours con-
tinuous labor and exposure; the conductor
guilty of wanton and reckless neglect of duty;
the brakes in the express train were inferior
and Ineffective and the manner of heating and
lighting the cars, which caused most of the
loss of life, was dangerous and in violation Of
law. The jury expresses its regret that under
the laws of Ohio the persons responsible for
the slaughter can not be criminally prosecuted.

The list is composed OF Commissioners, ey-Com-

numerous small fry city merchants and county

evidence to convict many Of the suspects, and
squeals and revelations were being made
every day. Three different County Commits
soners had made overtures TO him within the
last two days, but he had positively declined
making any promises OF immunity from punish
ment in exchange for convicting information
The States Attorney told his friend that no did
not need any squeals from principals as he
could get enough testimony on the outside to
convict every one of them. He expected TO OBJ
tain most or his testimony from merchants,
some Of whom had acted as go-betweens. Many
had already told oil they know, and others had
sent word that they were anxious to come in
out OF the wet and save their own bacon.
